2022 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 TI Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · HJ22 OMA

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy, having failed its most recent MOT on 13 May 2026 at 46,275 miles. The maintenance trend is clearly worsening. A cluster of five separate defects, spanning lighting, tyres, and a damaged lens, indicates a lapse in basic pre-test preparation. The tester flagged a non-functioning nearside headlamp on dipped beam, a failed nearside front fog lamp, an inoperative offside stop lamp, a defective nearside rear fog lamp lens, and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with a visible cut. This is not a single borderline failure; it is a broad neglect of fundamental safety checks. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable. Covering roughly 11,569 miles per year since registration, the van sits squarely within typical annual usage for a commercial diesel. The record shows a steady climb from 34,023 miles in early May 2025 to 46,275 miles by May 2026, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer. The data is clean and continuous, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of dormancy or recent high-intensity work. A buyer should treat the May 2026 failure list as a starting point for a physical inspection. The nearside front tyre, worn on the edge and cut, points to potential alignment issues or a worn suspension component, possibly a tracking problem or a failing suspension bush. The multiple lighting failures, including a defective rear fog lamp lens, warrant a full electrical check of the rear loom and bulb holders for corrosion or water ingress, common on high-mileage vans. The split constant velocity boot flagged in the May 2025 failure was a serious mechanical risk; a buyer must verify this was properly repaired and not simply ignored, as a failed drive shaft joint will require expensive transmission work. The recurring rear lamp advisories suggest a persistent fault in the rear light cluster or wiring that has never been fully resolved.
